“Alai, for'the rarity of Christian
obarlty!” sang Tom Hood, and a North
ern exchange to-day re-eohoes the
pessimistic sentiment.
But Christian oharlty la 'not rare.
It Is more abundant to-day than ever
before within the history of the world,
and is keeping pace with the progress
iveness of the age.
Great disasters, now so common in
this day of reckless enterprise and
rapid transit, never fall tobringChris-
tlan charity into play. The Johnstown
horror and now the Licking river
bridge disaster developed more real
Christian charity than Torn Hood, in
Ills day, and the infidels and pessim
ist* of this day and generation oould
appreciate. Such calamities as those
we have mentioned never fail to de
velop not only the kind of Christian
oharlty that goes down Into the pocket,
but mueh of the higher order that is
herole and Involves personal sacrifice
and danger.
Yes,the world is full of Christian
charity to-day, despite the fact that It
Is the most abused nnd oftenest be
trayed of all the Christian graces.
Unfortunately, however, the mis
eries of individuals, which in myriads
of isolated oases arc every day leading
toward fatal results, are generally too
obsoure and dumb to attract the atten
tion of the busy world.
MR. BI.AINJK’H SOHltOIV
OUR fOVB PARTIES.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
The Albany Daily Hxbald says
there are now four separate and dis
tinct political parties in the Borond
Congressional district — the Demo
cratic, the Republican, tlte Alliance
and the Third or People's Party.
There, as elsewhere, there.are Alli
ance Democrats, but the Hxbald
speaks of the Alliance as a party with
in Itself—distinct from the People’s or
Third Party. It speaks of the situa
tion there as being of the gravest
character and oalls upon the people to
get together and unravel it If possible.
Affairs are certainly in a badly mixed
condition in the Second district, but if
the urgent oalls which are being made
to the people through the press
amount to anything, the Democratic
forces will rally together and make a
stronger and more determined fight
for victory^
ABLY EDITED AND PAIR.
Who will not sympathize with Mr.
Blaine in the great sorrow that came
to him so suddenly on Saturday?
Truly he has had enough of Borrow
and disappointment to crush ,almost
any man. Death has been at work hi
Ills household. It has not been so long
slnoe hi* favorite sister died, then
Walker Blaine, and now another son,
Kmmons Blaine, has been stricken.
Emmons Blaine died suddenly In Chi
cago at about noon on Saturday. His
parents were at Bar Harbor and had
no Intimation of Ills Illness until about
half an hour before his death. Blood
poisoning, the result of inflammation
of the bowels, was the cause of young
Blaine's sudden dentil.
It really seems hard that this great
blow should fall upon Mr. Blaine Just
at this time, and the sympathies of all
good people will go out to him In this
Ills day of sorrow.
VOL. NORWOOD ON TDM DEATH
OP POI.K-THR THIBD PARTY.
Col. Thomas Norwood Is reported by
tho Savannah Press as expressing
much regret at the death of Col. L. L.
Polk, President of tho National All!
mine. He believed him to be a pure
oltizen, aetuated by patriotic motives,
who had tha true welfare ut the farm,
ora and the entire country at heart,
and who was not merely seeking per
sonnl political preferment through his
effurtsto advance the oause espoused
by tho Alllanoe.
Col. Norwood is Inollncd to believe
that the Third Party odnveutlon at
Omaha will now elevate Weaver, who
was docketed for second place, to the
head of the National ticket, with Geor
gia’s uniquely original “Tommy” Wat
son for vlce-Prealdent.
Mr. Norwood iloeB not believe that
the Third Party is broken down. He
says!
“I believe it to bea strong and grow
ing factor which will remain an active
force in politics. If It had been a
movement of the politicians alone It
would have been crushed out of exis-
touou long ago. But It is nut. The
politicians engaged in it are merely
tho white oaps that tell of the presenoe
of the surglngblllows beneath."
“HOT ENOUGH POH YOUf"
Somebody has evidently been ad
dressing this silly qnery to editor
Walsh, of the Augusta Chronicle, and
he makes it the text of the following
editorial:
Don’t persecute people with that
Idiotic inquiry, “Is It hot enough for
you,” and don’t feel called on to tell
every man you meet that “this Is very
warm weather we are having’’
Any person of ordinary intelligenoe
can find that out without being told.
Besides, this is one of the cases where
ignorance Is bits*. If you find a man
that doesn’t know this is hot weather,
bask awhile in the happiness of his
undisturbed serenity, and then go on
J our sweltering way without trying to
IsturlWilsoomrort by Insane questions
or feeble-minded observations.
If you were the only idiot in the
community your silly questions or as
sertions about the weather would not
■natter, but when a man is persecuted
by every one he meets with some silly
remnrk about the heat he is bound to
get uncomfortable, even though he
were smiling and happy to begin with.
Just take it for granted to-day that
the friends you meet have sense enough
to know it is liot, and that,unless they
are prohibitionists. It is entirely hot
enough for them. Don't ask. Go
through the day without fussing and
fuuilug about the weather, and see how
much cooler you will be, and how much
happier your friends will be. It is
worth trying;
Judge Atkinson has emphatically
denied the report that he was going
to withdraw from the Congressional
raoe in the Eleventh district, and says
that he Is in to stay until the finish,
The Judge is evidently losing hisgood
nature, judging by some of his utter
ances that get Into the newspapers,
and will develop a bad case of sore
head before the campaign is over if he
isn’t careful.
VAMT DYING OCT
From tlie Cutlibert Llboral-Kntei-|»rl»e.
Tub Albany IIkrald Is one of the
best edited papers in Georgia. Its ed
itor, Henry McIntosh, is a writer of
ability and fairness, a gentleman who
knows not how to stoop to a little
thing. When he differs with a con
temporary the difference is argued on
Its merits, without resqrt to contempt
ible personalities, buffoonery and false
hood. The Herald is by far the ablest
and certainly the only fair and manly
paper In this end of tlic Second d's-
trict that opposes Mr. Stevens.
Congress will do nothing next
week, and the Congressman who don’t
go to Chicago had as well goa-tlshing.
The Democrats are evidently going
to nominate Cleveland for President,
and if Hill uses the razor which lie
carries, what will the harvest be?
The Washington correspondents
have fallen into the habit of giving
entirely too much attention nnd prom
inence to the things that “ain't so.”
Tiik big town upon Lake Michigan
Is fast filling up with delegates to the
convention. One delegation from
Washington left yesterday nnd another
to-day.
The Democratic delegates to Chi
cago had butter go with well filled
luncheon baskets, for Chicago waiters
are on a strike and nearly all of the
restaurants in the olty are closed.
Since the nomination at Minne
apolis all signs of discord In the Re
publican party have disappeared, and
every Republican North, South, East
and West, Is hurrahing for Harrison.
J. R. Toli.khon, the Atlanta banker
who lias spent so much of Ills valuable
time In jail during the last two years,
has been arrested again. When he
gets out of this snap he ought to tnke
up hid bed and walk, as Atlanta has
evidently soured on him.
Hebe Is a chunk of solid troth and
wisdom from the Outhbert Liberal-
Enterprise : “Exemption Inws do not
hurt the man who has money. It T*
the man who must have credit that
bears the burden. Waive mites, mort
gages and usury.! These arc the bur
dens piled upon our poor people by
these hurtful laws. Repeal them.’’
Allen W. Thurman and Frank
Hurd were both defeated for delegate-
at-large places to the Chlcngo conven
tion in the Ohio State Democratic con
vention nt Columbus on Wednesday,
and the anti-Cleveland papers are
olalmlng it as a strong indication that
the Ohio delegation Is decidedly op
posed to Cleveland’s nomination.
The Alliance of the Second Con
gressional distriot—the District Alli
ance, which was organized for politi
cal purposes, we mean—may not in
tend to antagonize the Democratic
party In practice, but that is precisely
what It Is doing in theory, and the ef
fect is just the same so far as the In
terests of the Democratic party are
concerned.
Omaha does not seem to be very hos
pitably Inclined towards the expected
delegates to the convention of the
People's Party. They have made ar
rangements to accommodate 6,000, and
the party leaders olaim there will be
60,000 delegates. As the convention
meets on the 4th of July, If Omaha ex
pects to entertain the other 44,000, she
had better get a hustle on her.
Cyclones are no respecters of per
sons nor political parties. The Dem
ocratic Wigwam at Chicago was so
nearly demolished by the tornado of
Monday that Chicago leading Demo
crats telegraphed Minneapolis to in
quire If the Exhibition building could
be used for the Democratic conven
tion. But later In the day it was de
rided that the Wigwam could he re
paired in time for the big show on
Tuesday, and workmen were put at
once to work on it.

The ranks of the trusted and tried
old darkies of ante-bellum days are
fast thinning out from the continued
ravage and warfare of old Father
Time, and soon the old uncles and
aunties who were grown men and
women in times before the war will
have left this world, the scene of many
trials nnd tribulntlons.
In the South, the old darkies who
lived and had their lives shaped be
fore their freedom, are in great de
mand for servants In the families who
have found out their true worth, nnd
it Is almost an Impossibility to secure
the services of one> so monopolized are
they.
How many of you have seen the ten
der solioitude and untiring watchful
ness of a good old mntnniy, as she sat
by your sick bed, or that of some
friend, and kept a patient watch over
your slumbers nnd attended to every
want when awake? These good old
people arc trusted wherever they go,
and oh, how sadly will we miss them
when they are gone!
The race of darkies who arc taking
the places of their parents are no more
like them tlinn the day the night, and
the fact of the difference Is not re
gretted more by any one than by the
old people themselves.
The ways nnd customs of old dar
kles haven't been changed by the flight
of years. Their beliefs nnd many su
perstitions, their dress nnd dialect re
main the same as they were fifty years
ago. When the aunty meets you or
goes to tlmnk you for a favor, the cour
tesy she makes Is illimitable. The
uncle with a bow of the head and po
lite word tips his timo worn stove
pipe hat in a way that will mnke the
surliest person ralnvn a pleasant greet
ing.
But In a few more years they will
all have gone to another world. .They
are fast dropping out of the rune of
life, hot there is not a people on the
earth who more cheerfully close their
eyes In the eternnl.sleep than the good
and true old darkles of ante-bellum
days.
The mortality frum the ravages of
cholera In Persia is on the increase, so
much so that nctive measures are be
ing taken to prevent its entrance into
Russia. It would be well for some of
our seaports to look most carefully
after their sanitary niensures and-ex
ert extra vigilance in watching each
ship that comes Into port. A scourge
of the cholera Is not to be desired.
The ever-increasing occurrence of
those terrific wind-storms that sweep
the Northwest should arouse the in
terest of a thinking community in a
more efficient nnd a surer means of
predicting such storms, especially iti
those districts most frequently visited
by tornadoes and cyclones. The con
sequences of the storms are so appall
ing, the loss of life ami property so
great, and the increase in tlieir occur
rence is so apparent that every possi
ble menus of preparing people for
their coming should bn most carefully
considered;
o. 11.stkvknh is not the candidate of the Al

bert Liberal-Enterprise.
What! Not the candidate of the Al
liance? Whose, then, is he? Is he not
himself an Alllancemnn, and was it
not the Alliance that brought him out
and Issued an address to the people of
the district recommending him and
another to the “oath-bound” frater
nity calling upon the members to
stand by him because he was an Alll-
anceman and had been brought out by
the Alllanoe?
BARBER ANU Ut.
An enterprising firm in Illinois
whioh had occasion to import a lot of
rims for bicycle wheels recently hit
upon a new classification, with which
a United States Court at Chicago
struggled long and earnestly. The
rims were entered as “tired wheels for
railway purposes,” whioh are dutiable
at cents a pound, while the rims
had been assessed at 40 per cent, ad
valorem. The ingenuity of the scheme
made no impression, however, upon
the court, and the higher rate of duty
prevailed. The time has not arrived
when bicycle wheels can come in as
railroad material; yet there are vast
possibilities in the “silent steed,” and
the Illinois men may get there in the
near future.
The casualties of the past two dayB
have been startlingly great. The flood
and fire in the oil regions of Pennsyl
vania disposed of over a million dol
lars of property and put an end to the
lives of more than one hundred people;
the navy yard explosion caused the
instant death of fourteen men; a mil-
lion-dollar fire lias occurred in Balti
more; the blowing up of an oil ship
cost twenty lives; the giving way of a
new bridge over the Licking river, be
tween Covington and Newport, Ky.,
sent forty-three men to their death;
death and loss of property from light
ning and cyclones have been reported
from many Western towns; and be
sides these there are many minor acci
dents that attract little attention in
tile face of the more serious ones that
have occurred.
Editor Wattkrson has this to say
of the delegation from Kentucky to
the Republican convention at Minne
apolis: “It fills the heart with satis
faction to read in the dispatches that
when tile President first shoved his
superior strength in the convention
none roared louder and longer than
the Kentucky brigade. Kentucky del
egates in Republican National Con
ventions unfortunately often get on
the wrong side and consequently are
compelled to weep aud wail in the
wilderness for a manna that coineth
not. But they hit the bull's eye this
time and if there are any offices to be
distributed they have accomplished
what most delegates go to a National
Republican convention for.”
The Shrewd Knight of tlifl Itnxor Wiinled

Dr. Wills, on English resident of
Persia, was talking with tho barber
who had come as usual to shave and
shampoo him. “Why not do me tho
honor to come just over to my shop?”
said the barber. “It would do you
harm," answered Dr. Wills, “if the
people were to know that you slmveil
an unbeliever.” “Not a bit of it,
sahib. I would shave the evil one
himself if he were only open handed;
and I should bo respected for it. par
ticularly if’—with a chuckle— "I kept
tight hold of liis nose.”
Hossan, tho barber, had tight hold
of the Englishman's nose at that mo
ment, and as he was just going over
tho region above Adam's apple with
his keen razor thoro was no replying
to his joke.
“You should see me draw teeth—
such teeth I” added tho barber. "You,
doctor, who only draw tho teeth of
princes and gentry, you have never
seen such teeth, evon in a dream."
Here he drew his fingers, dipped in
water over his client’s chin—they do
not lather in the east—and added
with unction, “Such teeth—teeth
with five roots I"
Dr. WUIb, could not remonstrate,
for Hsssan had him by the nose
again, and his razor was still playing
in dangerous places. The conversa
tion ended by the Englishman's prom
ising to visit the barber at his shop.
Hossan had no sooner gathered up
his traps aud retired with dignity
than the servant of Dr. Wills began
to expostulate.
“You won't go, sir, of course,"
he began, oh ho handed his master u
towel.
"Won't go I Indeed I shall. Why
not, pray?"
"Ah. you sahibs are always taken
in. Don’t you spe, sahib, why ho
wants you to come'! Ho will say
you have come to learn from him."
Tho Englishman was amused, nnd
at tho time appointed ho went to
Hnssnu's shop, und was received with
exuberant welcome.
“Your footsteps are on my eyes;
you are indeed welcome; you honor
my poor establishment."
The place was “clean as a new
pin." Vases of the Nureissus poeti-
cus filled it with fragrance, and cus
tomers were plentiful.
Heuds were shaved; 'arms wore
bled; a rheumatic sufferer lay down
and recoived three severe burns with
a hot iron, for which he seemed duly
grateful; and finally Hassan “ac
tually extracted a part of a tooth—in
three acts und a prologue, with an
interval of five minutes after each."
At the end a largo piece came
away.
“Ah,” said tho triumphant barber,
‘that was where tho pain was I” Aud
the patient went out with his cheek
in his hand.
Dr. Wills soon followed, but was
hardly in his own courtyard before
his servnnt entered, palo with rage.
“Suhibl Oh, sahib!” ho began. “1
said it! 1 knew it I He has done it;
1 knew he would I There he stands,
the rascal, explaining to the two
merchants, your patients, that you—

Know HU Business.
The clothing man had printed a
big advertisement, and he was hon
est and had much business. A face
tious customer came in.
“1 like this,” he said, sticking out
a copy of the paper containing the ad.
“What’s the matter with it!” asked
the clothier.
“You say here, ’A good hoy’s coat
for fifty cents.’ Can’t a bad hoy get
a coat for fifty cents too!”
“Yes,” said the clothier politely.
“Then why not make the adver
tisement to read 'a hoy’s good coat
for fifty cents!’” and the customer
laughed the laugh of a man who al
ways has everything just right.
The clothier was as serene and
gentle as the gospel of truth and
Ught.
“Because,” he said, “I meant it
the way I put it. We can’t sell a
hoy’s good coat for fifty cents. We
con and do sell a good boy's coat for
fifty cents, and if a bad boy wonts
one of that kind he can have it ex
actly at the same price. See!”
Then the facetious customer put
the paper in his pocket and took-one
of the coats home to his hoy.—De

HOW TO BATHE.
Now that the summer days are upon
us with their enervating and beauty
spoiling heat, ladles eagerly embrace
every means that serves to detraot
frem the generally fagged out appear
ance that hot summer weather brings.
A day that leaves a lady fit for noth
ing but the bath tub and a curling
iron Is a vexation unto her soul. Dur
ing sudi weather, muoii in a lady’s ap
pearance depends on the bath. Con
stant- perspiring gives the face a leath
ery look whicli may, in a measure, be
couuteraoted by proper care in bath
ing.
A STEAM BATH.
Take a steam bath, after wliioh rub
yourself thoroughly and carefully.
Follow tills with a plunge in oold
water and a brisk sponging off that
will bring a glow. Take a half hour’s
rest and you will rise to find yourself
at lenst two shades whiter and with an
Invigorated, refreshed feeling that is
unusual in summer weather. A little
rose wnter or cologne in the bath, or a
preparation of orris root, oat meal and
fine toilet soap in small bags used for
rubbing the body, will impart a deli
cate and lasting odor and leave the
flesh as soft and smooth as a baby’s.
The majority of women do not realize
bow much of their good looks depends
on proper bathing. Did they, its
preparation would receive as muoh at
tention ns the making of a new dress
or purchasing of a bonnet.
. Persons on Broad street Frlday
morning about8:30 o’clock saw a sight
that drew smiles to their faces. From
tip toward the artesian well came a
novel turnout, oomposed of an extreme
ly large, white ox, that had the ap
pearance of having weathered the
storms of many winters, pulling after
him a two-wheeled road cart that *
might have been made fifteen years
ago. Heated complacently on the seat
that swayed fearfully at every step of
the bovine, doubly protected by a
large, spreading umbrella and a yellow
sunbonnet, sat the driver and sole oc
cupant of the team, an old aunty of
the “how-de-do” and “thanky, ma’am”
order. The slow', deliberate plodding'
of the ox, the measured creaky turning
of the wheels, and contented, patient
and unruffled take-vour-time looks of
the driver all corresponded perfectly,
and furnished a study for an artist,
the equal of which is seldom seen.
The prohibition .campaign in Au
gusta has brought about a row and a
split in the Broad Street Methodist
church of that city. Mr. Louis F.
Goodrich, who has been Superintend
ent of the Sunday-school for several
years, though a temperate man him
self, does not regard prohibition under
the local option law as effioaclous. For
this reason the rabid prohibitionists
can see in him nothing that is good,
and denounce him as an advocate of
bar-rooms and all the bad things that
follow. They accordingly com
menced to stop their children from
attending Brother Goodrich’s Sunday-
school, and that erstwhile pious gen
tleman was called upon to resign,
whioh he did. Nothing seems to de
velop the cranks and fanatics in a
community like a prohibition cam
paign.
